The Most Serene Republic of Maskayl is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ritual sacrifices, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.349 billion Maskaylians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 42.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Maskaylian economy, worth 208 trillion Obols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 154,508 Obols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Video evidence of cruel animal experiments tends to be of poor quality, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and the roundel of the Maskaylian Air Force has become an internationally recognized symbol of destruction. Crime is totally unknown. Maskayl's national animal is the Pigeon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Maskayl is ranked 157,413^th in the world and 619^th in Concord for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,355.28 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
